AUTO RUN KEY!

[RedPhantomX4 26]

I know it MUST have been Suggested before, And i think that it is a MUST HAVE in the game, and i will be so dissapointed if it is not added into the game soon.

The dev's don't want one.

 

-if you can understand their logic you're a better man then I am (I have to use a dice with scissors finely balanced on top to keep it pressed down) -its just madness

Dude, just wedge a penny between 'w' and the numbers 2 and 3.

The dev-team has mentioned several times that they won't add an auto-run key,

as they don't want to provide this option for the ultra-lazy.

there is NOT going to be an auto run key

For some reason, when I have TS3 with overlay enabled, and I press and hold #1 button on the Numpad, and then release W, it stays in run mode. Works just like an autorun key. If you have TS3, give it a try. :)

-How is it being "ultra-lazy"?!!  that's as insulting as it is insane. Fact: we have to use pennies and what not to hold down the key as it now. Why not save us the trouble of having to do this?!! (its just NPE madness).

Its take hours to run from N.E. spawn to the S.W. of map. Why make us hold down the bloody key the whole time -its just insane. This will prove to be a 'put back on shelf' for a lot of folk once it hits general release... there must be some sane folk on the dev team who can see this?

I think it is absolute madness that they wont add a auto run key, but you know, w/e....just dont understand the devs sometimes

link to source??

 

I was hoping with all the debate about it right now they would at least consider it :((

There are a few threads about this. And most people are arse backwards about it.

 

And I very much doubt anyone who has an actual say in the game development are against it. 

 

It's just a question of simple ergonomics, of course these threads devolve into mud throwing pretty fast. As apparently if you don't have carpal tunnel by the age of 30 you're a filthy casual.

Lol so true

L :blink:  :blink: K, devs, we are jamming stuff in our keyboards to spare RSI/Carpal tunnel and associated "holding this key for 10, 20, 30 minutes is permanent damage" to our precious phalanges.  A class action lawsuit over damaged  W and E keys could cost you, well, not much, but if autorun entails heart attack, so be it.  I am not AFK when jamming, and adjust course, but for reals, it's what non-hackers do to cover terrain.

Oops, said too much already.  Not a hacker, but what a taboo subject.

The only reason I want it is so I can type while running. I don't always 100% of the time like to play with a mic. I'd like to be able to type while running and currently I have to stop everytime.

I just a canon battery xD

Almost everyone uses some sort of mechanic to just keep the damn button pushed. It's constantly a source of jokes in FB groups/forums. It would take literally minutes to implement it. Lack of autorun is just madness. It's a roll of coins for now.

I hope for stamina and weight feature that makes auto run and running full all the time basically stupid. Something like ACE or the W.I.P. Arma 3 Fatigue did.
